I am a licensed Social Worker in Maryland with over 6 years of experience working as an educator social worker and advocate for the State of Maryland. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and difficulty adjusting to life changes. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse during childhood.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and down to earth. I am a therapist that looks like you, talks like you, and wants you to be the best you! I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is solution - focused and strengths based perspective to help you reach your goals.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am proud of you for making the first step and would love to continue to support you!
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Olivia Laguerre. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have had only one session with Olivia so far, but she was very attentive and asked lots of questions that helped point me in the right direction to emotional recovery. I feel confident she will help me get to the bottom of negative emotions; she paid close attention to my answers to her questions and began formulating a plan to help me. She is thoughtful and a good listener. I’m looking forward to working with her more.
